Public Accounts Committee

2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment

1:00 pm

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

I understand that the targets on the website for Castlebar and Ballina are still going ahead, so the couple of thousand people in both of those areas will have that 500 Mbps available to them by the end of the year. National Broadband Ireland, NBI, was hoping to have more done by the end of the year at a national level but things have fallen back by a few months, although that will not impact Castlebar and Ballina to any great extent. The target for this year is 70,000 overall and NBI will be looking to do a hell of a lot more than that in 2022.
